The Necromancer class in Diablo 4 has a lot of skills and spells from the Book of the Dead for players to utilize in battle. They are well-rounded combat wise and their skill is in keeping with Necromancy as their name suggests, and they can summon the undead to become their warriors in Diablo 4.
They can utilize the dead on the battlefield to their advantage. Players can have fun blowing up corpses and summoning shards of bones to attack the enemy, they even have a Golem in their skill arsenal to attack. The Necromancer class's skill tree comprises blood, bone, and shadow-based attacks which players can choose from.
10 Hemorrhage
The Hemorrhage skill is a blood-based attack. It allows a player to burst the enemy’s blood and inflict between 25% to 35% damage to that enemy. It's a Basic physical skill that generates 8 Essence for the player and this skill has a 20% likelihood to form a blood orb.
After picking a blood orb, Enhanced Hemorrhage gives players 2 extra Essence for every hit. Acolyte’s Hemorrhage gives players another +20% speed when attacking while they are healthy and the Initiate’s Hemorrhage gives 1.6% base life as Fortify for every time this skill hits an enemy.
9 Decompose
Decompose tears the flesh off of an enemy which deals around 35% damage every second and creates a corpse with the flesh every two and half seconds. This skill allows players to regain Essence spent in the course of battle, while the skill is active players can gain 7 Essence per second.
When players upgrade this skill to Enhance Decompose, they gain 10 Essence if an enemy dies while they are being decomposed. The second upgrade is the Acolyte’s Decompose which allows players and their minions to deal increased damage to enemies that are decomposing. The final skill upgrade slows down an enemy by 30% making them easier to kill.
8 Bone Spear
Players can easily conjure up a Bone Spear with this Core Necromancer skill from the ground that deals serious damage to enemies while simultaneously piercing through them. However, it would cost a player 25 Essence when they use this skill against the enemy.
When a player activates the Enhanced Bone Spear, it breaks into 3 shards when it is destroyed and deals some damage each to nearby enemies. The next skill upgrade increases the likelihood of a player landing a Critical Hit by 5%. Players can fire 2 additional bone shards if the spear performs a critical strike after it is destroyed.
7 Blood Surge
The Blood Surge skill draws blood from the enemy with veins showing on the battlefield while simultaneously expelling a Blood Nova inflicting damage to the nearby enemies. The Nova damage increases by 10% for every enemy drained up to 50% and the skill cost up to 30 Essence.
Enhanced Blood Surge heals a player for 2.5% of their maximum life when they draw blood from their enemies. Players gain 1 stack of Overwhelming Blood when the enemy is damaged by Blood Nova when they upgrade to Paranormal Blood Surge.
6 Bone Storm
This is one of the Ultimate Necromancer skills that causes a swirling storm of bone to enclose players and their summoned Golem dealing serious damage to their enemies for 10 seconds. This skill requires a 60 Cooldown before a player can use this skill again.
This skill has two upgradeable levels, the Prime and Enhanced Bone Storm. The Prime Bone Storm reduces the damage a player receives by 15% while this skill is active and Supreme Bone Storm increases a player’s chance of a critical strike by 20% while Bone Storm is active.
5 Corpse Explosion
Corpse Explosion inflicts damage to nearby enemies around the point of detonation. The impact range of this skill increases when players upgrade this skill to Enhanced Corpse Explosion. The Corpse Explosion skill helps players to utilize their surroundings to achieve victory in battle.
The Blighted Corpse Explosion skill causes the corpse to release a vile miasma causing heavy damage to enemies for 6 seconds. It becomes easier to kill enemies when players use the Plagued Corpse Explosion skill as slowed, stunned, or vulnerable enemies suffer additional damage.
4 Army Of The Dead
Necromancy at its peak, this skill allows a player to call the dead buried deep underneath the ground. Volatile skeletons come forth over 7 seconds that explode when they are around enemies. They simultaneously inflict 45% damage to surrounding enemies.
Volatile Skeletons have a chance to leave a corpse behind after exploding when a player uses Prime Army of the Dead. When players use the Supreme Army of the Dead skill, they can easily summon forth the dead, Skeletal Warriors, and Skeletal Mages as their minions in battle.
3 Blood Wave
The Blood Wave conjures a tidal wave of blood that inflicts serious damage to the enemies and knocks them back. Players can use this skill to push back enemies surrounding them, this makes it a lot easier to launch attacks on the enemy. This skill requires 50 Cooldown before it can be re-used.
The Prime Blood Wave temporarily slows the enemy for a brief period making it easy to land attacks on the affected enemies. Supreme Blood Wave is the highest tier of this skill that leaves behind 3 Blood Orbs as it passes through the enemies.
2 Bone Spirit
The Bone Spirit skill consumes all of a player’s Essence to conjure a spirit of bone that searches for enemies exploding when they reach the enemy. The explosion inflicts some damage on the target enemy and other nearby enemies.
This skill enables players to generate 30 Essence over 4 seconds after this skill hits an enemy when they use Dreadful Bone Spirit. The likelihood of landing a critical hit on an enemy increases when a player uses the Ghastly Bone Spirit skill to deal damage to the enemy.
1 Blight
Blight is a Core Shadow skill that players can use to release a concentrated Blight that deals damage to enemies. Using the Blight skill will result in a defiled area that temporarily inflicts severe damage to the enemy within the blight for 6 seconds.
Using Enhanced Blight temporarily slows the enemies making it easier for players to dodge or evade their attacks while Paranormal Blight may immobilize enemies for a short time. The highest upgrade of this skill allows players and their minions to deal additional damage to enemies inside the Blight.
